Malachi 2:10-12

International Children’s Bible

Judah Was Not Loyal to God

¹⁰ We all have the same father. The same God made us. So why do people break their promises to each other? They don’t respect the agreement that our ancestors made with God. ¹¹ The people of Judah have broken their promises. They have done something God hates in Israel and Jerusalem. The people of Judah did not respect the Temple that the Lord loves. The men of Judah married the women who worship foreign gods. ¹² The man who does this might bring offerings to the Lord of heaven’s armies. But the Lord will still separate him from the community of Israel.
